The corporate media’s constant use of Cold War terminology to describe the meeting of the U.S. and Russian presidents as a meeting of the “two superpowers” masks the present relationship of forces.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin met at the Group of 20 summit on July 7 in Hamburg, Germany.

Old preconceptions and terms must be challenged in order to have an accurate view of the present international situation. Russia today, as a capitalist country, is not even a fifth-rate economic power.

The Russian economy is smaller than the economy of Brazil, south Korea or Canada. According to World Bank and International Monetary Fund measurements, Russia now ranks 12th globally in its gross domestic product. This measurement is the market value of goods and services.

Today’s Russian Federation is a vastly different state — socially, politically, economically and militarily —…

In postwar history, annexation of a part of a sovereign

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has led to RF international isolation,
including NATO’s suspension of all practical cooperation with Russia.

While it will still be small, Royal Navy will become «most balanced» in world, say Navy chiefs

BRITAIN is set to enter a “new era of maritime power”, defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon said last night, with new ships and air assets giving us an ability to project force globally that «we haven’t had for decades.»
It comes as tensions with Russia continue to mount, with a Royal Navy nuclear submarine forced once again to track two Russian spy submarines as they prowled deep waters of the coat of Scotland.
HMS Triumph, a hunter-killer submarine, was equipped with a new array of tracking equipment, which allows British submarines to shadow Russian predators like never before, So secret is the new “non acoustic detection” system that HMS Triumph took the unusual precaution of slipping home under the cover of night on Boxing day, before the array was manually removed from her…

RUSSIA is sending three powerful submarines capable of bombing the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo.
While the world condemns the flotilla of Russian surface battleships on its way to the eastern Mediterranean, it is the submarines that will unleash deadly metal rain on Syria’s last rebel stronghold, experts warn.
The news comes as tensions between London and Moscow escalate following Britain’s decision to deploy tanks, fighter aircraft and up to 800 troops to Baltic war games.
A Royal Navy nuclear submarine was last night tracking two of the boats. They are expected to join the task force, headed by Russia’s only aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, tomorrow.
It is not the first time Russia has used its silent weapons of destruction to attack Syrian soil. In December last year its Military Maritime Fleet successfully trialled the first firing of cruise missiles from a submarine, when the Kilo-class ‘Rostov-on-Don’ launched four Kalibr…

RUSSIAN electronic units are forcing RAF bomber crews to abort missions over Syria by hacking into their systems, sources revealed last night.
It is thought the attacks may be aimed at causing aircrews to hit wrong targets, leading to collateral damage in a bid to undermine Britain’s mission.
The news emerges as Russian premier Vladimir Putin stands accused of using increasingly sophisticated technology to launch cyber attacks in the US.
At least three sorties, two involving RAF Tornados, the other a Typhoon, were hacked over the last few weeks.
In two cases, the attacks were successfully intercepted by RAF weapons aircrew. However, both missions had to be aborted to void the possibility of bombs landing on incorrect targets.
In another case, a bomber was hit 30 seconds after it had already accurately dropped its payload, rendering the attack useless. The incidents were witnessed by the crews of nearby Awacs surveillance…

The unlikely face of Russia’s information war with the West is a real estate investor in Florida. His name is Scott Rickard, and he is one of a coterie of American conspiracy theorists who have become central in Russia’s latest propaganda efforts. The Russians discovered Rickard through Iranian state media, who had been broadcasting interviews with him since 2012 and billing him as “an activist and former American intelligence linguist.” According to Linkedin, he has worked at a real estate investment company in central Florida since 2007, but over the last year and a half, he has been consulted in Iranian and Russian media over 200 times as a covert affairs expert, in nationally syndicated television, radio, and print. So who exactly is Scott Rickard?

His early interviews on Iran’s Press TV hint at how Rickard achieved his modicum of fame. Press TV is owned by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and…
